Form IV

Canon Legends version → Linked from 16 articles

Form IV, also known as Ataru (pronounced uh-TAR-oo) or The Aggression Form, was the fourth form of lightsaber combat invented by the Jedi Order. An acrobatic combat style, Ataru could be used to defend against incoming projectiles but was best suited for open spaces and attacking. When the Galactic Republic was in its last years of existence, Anakin Skywalker made adjustments to the classic Form IV techniques and demonstrated them in a holographic recording, later found in holocron owned by Kanan Jarrus.
